Itinerary description

Tuesday: We will leave early in Tuesday morning. Drive to George Lake to grab our permits(not everyone need go there) and leave a car for our car shuttle. Put in on Johnnie and camp there for the first two nights.

Wednesday: Leave early morning and canoe to the portage to Clearsilver. 830m portage. Canoe across Clearsilver, 1.5km to the hiking trail. It is 4km hike each way to Silver Peak. Things to note...

Difficulty The beginning of the hike is fairly flat and well traversed, then a steep one-hour climb to the top of the Peak. Hikers should be in good physical condition and be prepared for a strenuous hike.
Caution Exposed rock can be slippery.
Sturdy footwear is recommended.

Thursday: We have an 8km or more canoe to the Kakakise portage which is 940m, depending on where we end up on Johnnie. Be nice if we can leave in the morning so we can relax a bit here.

Friday: We have two really long portages this day! 1470m to Norway and then 1390 to Killarney where we will stay our last two nights.

Saturday: We have the option of either hanging out here or exploring OSA and even Muriel if we wish. It's only a 450m (or 130m if accessible) portage to OSA Lake and another 595 if we wish to Muriel lake.

Sunday: We have short paddle to the portage, 380m to George Lake. Still be nice to head out early so we can hit the road, get what canoe(s) we've rented back and head home.

Meals:
All dinners will be made by one of our group. Do our own breakfast and lunches, 5 each, though we will do a communal Saturday breakfast (optional) also put together by our group. Tuesday lunch on the way up.

Required Items to Bring

Gear: Backpack, clothes, rainwear, hiking boots, lunches and breakfasts and snacks, sleeping back, thermarest, dishes for own use, toiletries, headlamp,

POSTPONED: Peterborough Lift Lock Social Paddle

*Due to lack of participants, postponed to a future date*

Have fun paddling the Peterborough Lift Lock, located on the Trent Canal in the city of Peterborough,
Ontario, Canada, and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. The dual lifts are the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, with a lift of 19.8 m.

For those not familiar with Lift Locks, you boat into a "tub" which is then lifted up, like an elevator.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterborough_Lift_Lock

Also paddle up Lock 20 (Ashburnham) which is a standard lock
